Ever program something that makes you feel bashful/dopey/sleepy or sneezy? Post about it here.

What about sleazy.

[David Pittman]

Back in school, I was sleeping poorly and taking Benadryl for allergies (almost was a sneezy programmer, but this story is about being a sleepy programmer). We had these three-hour-long lecture/practical classes where we'd be given something to implement and the instructor would provide a brief look at his example code on the project to guide us before we began our own implementations. On this particular day, we were implementing game timers (using QueryPerformanceFrequency/Counter on Windows) and I was extremely medicated and tired. I was trying to copy down the instructor's notes before he hid them and struggling to even keep my eyes open at the same time. After a few minutes of this battle, I looked up at what I had written. I wish I could remember it exactly, because it was hilarious, but what I do recall is that was definitely not code. I had apparently just started typing a kind of drug-addled stream of consciousness interpretation of the task at hand and had ended up mixing nonsensical English sentences with fragments of C++ syntax. The realization of it jolted me awake, but it still took me a while to find the meaningful elements in the mess and figure out what I had meant to write. Good times.

GUI and/or event codes. I hate them. I'm falling asleep while coding it. Even reading related documentations/tutorials makes we fucking tired. Boring as hell!

Also, reading/discussing about programming theory makes me sleepy and mindfucked.

Or maybe you programmed something that makes you feel Snow White. That would be fun too.
